TEACH yourself by your own mistakes; people learn only by error.
ONLY WHEN THE CLOCK STOPS DOES TIME COME TO LIFE.
IF a story is in you, it has to come out.
LIFE is process of preparing to be dead for a long time.
BE SCARED. YOU CAN’T HELP THAT. BUT DON’T BE AFRAID.
THE best fiction is far more true than any journalism.
WONDER. GO ON AND WONDER.
WE HAVE TO START TEACHING OURSELVES NOT TO BE AFRAID.
THE WORLD IS GOVERNED BY OPINION. William Ellery Channing
THE PROCESS of inquiry & observation was what gave my life meaning, even more than the attempts to put anything into the words. EMILY WITT
THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE believe in incredible things which are absolutely false. The majority of people daily act in a manner prejudicial to their well-being.
ASHLEY MONTAGU
THERE IS NO RESPECT FOR OTHERS WITHOUT HUMILITY IN ONE’S SELF.
HENRI FREDERIC AMIEL
MIGUEL de CERVANTES 1547-1616 “Don Quixote”
HE who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all.
TOO much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all to see life as it is and not how it should be.
TRUTH WILL RISE ABOVE FALSEHOOD AS OIL ABOVE WATER.
VIRTUE IS THE TRUEST NOBILITY.
TO BE PREPARED IS HALF THE VICTORY.
THE KNOWLEDGE OF YOURSELF WILL PRESERVE YOU FROM VANITY.
OUR HOURS IN LOVE HAVE WINGS; IN ABSENCE CRUTCHES.
A closed mouth catches no flies.
OUR GREATEST FOES & WHOM WE MUST CHIEFLY COMBAT ARE WITHIN.
ALAS! ALL MUSIC JARS WHEN THE SOUL’S OUT OF TUNE.
GOOD actions ennoble us and we are the sons of our deeds.
